Last Flight Home

Liner Notes
I will let Doug tell us what this song's words are about but they do seem to have a slightly bitter edge.
And a choir, well why not courtesy of Choir Omina from Native Instruments
Doug: I think the "choir" works very well, David. Makes a cool song even cooler. Thanks for another great collab!
I see this as the story of a person who escapes the pain and suffering he leaves in his wake for a short vacation but now has to go home where no one cares about him because he has never shown he cares about them.
Lyrics
You got away from it all So much to get away from So many reasons to be here The sea, the sun, the sand
An expert at destruction You blazed a long trail of pain Though paradise has been an escape It’s time to go home again
(C) You’re on the last flight out today You wish you could stay just a little bit more No one is waiting Not a soul will be waiting for you When you walk back through the door
You don’t know why it all happens Whatever you touch slowly dies You still see the hurt on their faces And hear their midnight cries
You needed this time away to forget The many things you haven’t Broken yet Cool breezes teased your skin last evening You wondered if life has to have meaning
C) You’re on the last flight out today You wish you could stay more No one is waiting No one is waiting Not a soul will be waiting for you When you walk through the door (2X)

Not the sound I'd have expected to go with these lyrics, but it works! There's something about the pop sound that underlines the existential darkness in the words. Really like the descending melody on the chorus. Very catchy. Made me reconsider my life choices. Job done!

Pretty dark for Doug's lyrics, I'll have to ask him who the expert at destruction is :-). Nice music and nicely put together. Well done!

Couldn't tell what the "choir" was singing there...which is the problem with those choir samples (I have several myself, and I never get results I like other than "Ooo" or "Aaa"). 😉
On the other hand, I liked it when the "humans" came in! Great song! Well-produced! ❤️

Love the kind of Sympathy For the Devil Stones feel. Nice lyrics and fun tune. Also love your vocals and instrumentation. Well done!

those are some of the craziest back up vocals i have ever heard. i especially liked their presence in the intro. sounds like this is a day in the life of an international hit man. but with such pretty music and affable vocals, how can this be?

Yeah, I like this lyric and I think a lot of people could relate to this. I especially liked, "No one is waiting/Not a soul will be waiting for you." What a great way to express loneliness. @daveyboy103's music and vox capture the aimlessness of this guy's life. It's one of those songs that grows on you. Nice collab!
